Air Conditioning and Allergies: Is it time for air conditioner service?

Published on June 17, 2015

As we welcome back summer to Dayton we also have to welcome back something much less fun: allergies. While your home is supposed to be a place to get a break from all the discomforts of nature, allergies are often an uncomfortable exception. However, routine air conditioner service can help reduce those annoyances and make a noticeable improvement in your comfort.

While most spring and summer allergies are due to the activities of trees, flowers, and grasses, most indoor allergies are actually due to conditions already in your home. Different types of dust can collect in your home’s air ducts which then get sent throughout each and every room every time your air conditioner runs. In addition to dust knocked loose from the walls of your duct work, your air conditioner, air handler or furnace blower motor can also contain microbes, pet dander, dead insect matter, and sometimes.

In fact, Indoor air pollution levels can be two to five times higher than outdoors. 1

If your air conditioning system is adding contaminants to your air, your kids will probably be the ones to suffer first2. That’s because their lungs are less developed and will become irritated quicker when breathing contaminated air.

The first thing to consider doing if you think your air conditioner may be adding to your allergies is upgrading your air filter to one with more protection against allergens. High efficiency air filters have a MERV rating greater than 14. Stevenson Service Experts can provide a free estimate and install a high-efficiency filter system for you.
